IN ACTION
I offer an antidote to assumptions about behavior change that keep people stuck by providing them empirical-based insights, reason and perspective. I believe anyone can change. Yet not everyone is the same. Our unique values, purpose, needs and cultural dynamics determine what drives meaningful transformation in individuals, groups and organizations. Using engaging stories, humor and practical science-based strategies I take my audience on a transformational journey, inspiring them to change their narrative about what’s possible, freeing them to energetically play, imaginatively create, compellingly communicate and thrive by leveraging their focus on what matters most at work and in life.
ABOUT
ROBERT
An internationally renowned presenter, author, and coach in the areas of wellness, behavior- change, cultural development, communication and leadership, Robert Cappuccio has trained, coached and developed teams all over the world, working with people from all walks of life, at all levels within leading organizations, from front line staff to the C Suite. Robert believes that our highest values often come from our deepest voids. He has observed that once you know what those values are and commit to living them, with the right mindset and strategy transformation is not only possible, but inevitable. A belief that has been reflected in his own life.
Abandoned in a state of severe neglect, adopted by a developmentally disabled mother, and a terminally ill father, life was uncertain. Growing up with facial deformities and Tourette’s, Robert faced daily bullying at school. Yet, the bullying and ridicule was not even close to the life-threatening experiences he endured every day at home. From being severely beaten, tortured, stabbed, burned and sexually abused, to being told he had no value, life seemed hopeless.
However, in his late teens, with the guidance of his then boss and mentor at Gold's Gym, Robert had an astonishing revelation that would powerfully shape his perspective and career trajectory. He discovered in retrospect that even though he was left physically and emotionally scarred, his experiences early in life had prepared him for the discovery and pursuit of his calling. He realized that out of our greatest adversity can emerge our most powerful strengths. At times, when we are enduring moments of suffering, the way out can be found by lifting others up.
Robert has held senior leadership positions and co-founded some of the most recognized education and leadership companies in his industry. He has co-authored multiple textbooks, is a best-selling author, and has written hundreds of articles for prominent trade publications. He is a regular guest on podcasts and radio shows including BBC4 radio with Paul Ross. You can listen to Robert and his inspiring guests share their insights and expertise every week on his podcast ‘The Self-Help Antidote.’
